Your Private Global Gateway
Transition from experimental passes to constellation-scale operations with an exclusive infrastructure built for your mission. Groundcom provides dedicated, non-shared S/X-Band and VHF/UHF stations globally. Eliminate third-party scheduling conflicts and high variable costs with a turnkey, managed network that offers total strategic control without the operational burden of maintenance.
Ground Infrastructure Shouldn't Be Your Biggest Problem
As your mission matures, a dedicated network offers a natural progression toward greater operational autonomy. While our shared network is perfect for flexible, early-stage access, a dedicated gateway provides high-volume constellations with 100% exclusive airtime.
It’s a cost-effective way to secure predictable pricing and total scheduling freedom as your satellite fleet grows.
Everything You Need, Nothing You Don't
Exclusive Hardware Access
Enjoy 100% availability with zero scheduling conflicts. This is your private infrastructure, ensuring your satellites always have a clear line of communication.
The Shared Network Is Ideal If You Are...
The Scaling Constellation
Operators moving from 10 to dozens of satellites who need fixed costs and guaranteed 24/7 access.
Strategic Mission Leads
Teams requiring total independence from shared scheduling and third-party data handling for sensitive or critical operations.
The Cost-Conscious CFO
By moving to a predictable, fixed-cost structure, you can significantly lower your average cost-per-pass and stabilize your long-term budget as your data needs expand.

Need a dedicated, private network instead?
If you're operating a high-cadence constellation, require sovereign data handling, or need custom RF configurations — a Dedicated Ground Station Network may be the better fit.
Frequent questions
How does a "Dedicated" network differ from your "Shared" network?
In the Shared Network, you book slots alongside other users. In a Dedicated Network, the hardware is reserved exclusively for you. You own 100% of the station's time, meaning no scheduling conflicts and unlimited passes.
Who owns the hardware in this model?
We offer two paths. Typically, Groundcom owns and operates the hardware while you pay for the dedicated service. This removes CAPEX and maintenance from your plate. However, we can also build a network that you own entirely, with Groundcom providing the maintenance.
Which frequency bands are supported?
Our dedicated networks support the full spectrum of modern satellite needs: VHF (Up/Down), UHF (Up/Down), S-Band (Up/Down), and X-Band (Downlink). Custom frequency development is also available through our R&D team.
Can we use our own Mission Control Software?
Yes. Whether the network is owned by you or Groundcom, we provide direct API access. The infrastructure is designed to be a transparent extension of your own Mission Control Center.
How fast can you deploy a new dedicated site?
Leveraging our "Rapid Deployment" USP, we can often have a dedicated station operational at one of our global sites within one month, far faster than the 6-12 month industry average.
If You've Made It This Far, the Answer Is Yes
You're operating or planning a CubeSat or small satellite mission and you need ground infrastructure that won't become a multi-month project. The Groundcom VHF/UHF line was designed for exactly this profile.
